You’ve probably heard by now, UAM opened its widebody aircraft disassembly facility in Tupelo (MS) last month.
As part of the commencement event, UAM landed a Japan Airlines 747-400 at the Tupelo Regional Airport for disassembly, complete with a low pass fly-by and tour of the aircraft for event attendees.
As an interesting insight to Japanese culture, the photos below illustrate the ground crew’s attention to detail and commitment to service on farewell flight for N897DB.
